you know wha dogwood....i keep hearing a lot of bad things about pop as far as customs hassling you and always wanting to get a tip....i try to search for pop, but i found nothing less than 400...but imma keep trying daily

[Ram]

I never had a problem with the customs guy's when I went through, just checked one bag and told me to go. No one in front of me got asked, maybe it was a good day?

i may try pop, but for right now sti is more than $100 dollars cheaper and i only pay $30 for someone to pick me up from the airport...so i'm saving $70

[Dick Dawson]

My last trip going thru POP they didn't even take the declaration form that you get on the place. I just walked right by them. They weren't even looking my way.

[Kevy]

I arriived in POP twice on Charter flights. Both times they never stopped anyone..

[JDR]

It looks like they are trying to make STI into the central airport in DR. All the US based airlines are going there.

[BROOKLYN_357]

well i guess i stand corrected on the bad stories about pop...i see some people have flown there with no problems, but it's still cheaper to fly into sti...i guess i'm bargain shopper and that means more money for me to eat, drink, and fuck

[JDR]

I have 30 trips in and out. Never had any problems at any of the three major airports.

[Kevy]

Actually on my first trip last year I slowed down at the desks they hacvve there and the guy almost laughed at me and waved me through. This year I didn't slow down and walked right over to the taxis.

[Dick Dawson]

I think it also depends on how you look as well. I've read that if you're dressed very well, you have a greater chance of them stopping you than if you're just dressed in a T-shirt and shorts.

that's what i was told also dick...the better you dress, then the more money you're suppose to have

[Kevy]

Also, I think the that they knew it was a charter and most of the people were going to buses for the AI and they didn't want to get in the way.

Never had any problems at POP at all. I never had any of the guys ask me for any paper....yet. But that problem is minimal, and not that serious. You got a cab picking you up for 30 bucks? That's much better than I got coming from there. I paid 50, and they start at 65.

[Reel Deal]

:shock:

For a minute there, I thought this thread was about Animal House...

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Dark Knight]

That $30 cab ride from sti. sounds like a good deal. How bout posting his number or email.
As it is now will have to take a cab to bus station, then bus to pop, then motochoncho to hotel. That cabbie might even save a life or two. Later, SB

[moshy2k]

I am with you Dogwood that cab ribe from STI drives me insane. And driving through those mountains wasn't very pleasant either. I haven't booked my ticket for April yet as I am hoping the EWR - POP drops in the next few days. If it doesn't I am 99% sure I will book EWR - POP anyway and just pay the extra $140. I hate that long as cab ride. And they I have to leave for the airport twice as early when I am leaving which makes things twice as depressing (can't even stay til passions opens).

thats cause you bring a jansport school boy bookbag and no suitcases...

[BROOKLYN_357]

i schedule my pick up with either the guy i'm going to rent my car from or the hotel that i'm staying at....i rent my car from BOHIO ...i will post him telephone number a little later, i have to find the card...he's cool and he or one of his workers will be there 3 am or 3pm and the hotel i stay at said they will pick me up also and i just pay $30 for the gas...i normally stay at the Villa Chessa and i have to find that card also, hahahah

They don't seem to have flights in April from jfk to STI for some reason...

YEAH I THINK it's a good deal

[psriches]

Delta still running the $260 special from JFK to Santiago most of May. Plenty of seats still available.

This fare lasts all the way till the 3rd week of June and then it is $300 and above out of NYC.

However, Delta is talking that bankruptcy shit due to fuel costs and other things. The fuel costs are killing all the airlines. For the NYC cats, we already lost POP, i hope we don't lose STI.

[Jimmydr]

PoP was lost because the 500,000 Dominicans were heading to STI to begin with.

[psriches]

At one time, it seemed like POP was a popular, inexpensive tourist destination. It seems like it fell off with the american tourist crowd.

[guttaman]

They go to the AI'S and get shitty service and food. Once and only once do most Americans go to the DR. They try to save a few bucks and leave feeling it was not worth it. I have been to some nice places for close to the same price as a regularly planned trip to Playa Dorado. My first time to the DR was a last minute get away to Playa Dorado for short money. Showed up and i was horrified and thought the place a shit hole. Got drunk, packed up and went to the Palace for a few nights. After spending 30 days at different places in Sosua in the next 6 months i did a last minute long weekend deal again at the Playa Dorado. After my airfare it came to $50 a night for me and a chica. I loved the place. I loved the free Presidente and local drinks and ate more than $50 worth of food a night. Rented a car and it was the best trip i have had only because i now knew the area and many people so i only ate breakfast and dinner there and went back out about 10 pm to Sosua.
Now they are pushing Punta Cana here in Boston with no specials in the Sunday paper to POP. I also see there are cruise ships that stop in Samana and La Romana is getting the nature hike type tourist. For you guys in NYC you do not know how jealous i am that on average it is $275 more for me to get to anyplace in the DR compared to you.

[El Drunko]

guttaman.....I feel your pain

[Kevy]

Me too, these NY NJ guys always rubbing our noses in it, like their price increases are really painful.

[Jimmydr]

October $268 RT!!!

3 Hour flight!!!!

[psriches]

September, October, November, $268, $268, $268............ :la:

[Kevy]

I like when you guys cry about $40 increases. You would think it is the end of the world.

You have to understand, we're paying a lot more.NO, you have to understand, the increases are painful. An increase is an increase! No matter what the next man is paying, KEVY!!

[Kevy]

When you get a $40 increase, I am getting a $60, so I understand the pain, but your still paying less.

[psriches]

BUT KEVY! THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU. IT'S ABOUT ME AND MY PAIN!!!

[guttaman]

September, October, November, $268, $268, $268............ :la:

Last week of October i hope. Working on the air fare now. For $268 i would do a 10 hour lay over in hell. Or Miami, they are both the same.

[Pana]

September, October, November, $268, $268, $268............ :la:
Im looking at these prices and they are not bad but you have to look at the two sides which right now I have a dilema :? Im looking maybe to fly to Santiago and this time I may not rent a car but if you add on the taxi prices round trip and if I dont take the caribe tours bus it comes out being the same price in the long run if I just had flew into Puerto Plata. I have been flying JFK to Santiago lately and also renting a car I pay the same price or more on the airfare to Santiago and renting the car and getting gas etc....

[psriches]

BUT KEVY! THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU. IT'S ABOUT ME AND MY PAIN!!!

:psriches:

Since you put it thast way, maybe they can set up a crying section you. :lol:Kevy, Kevy, Kevy, you must not be so sensitive. This thread was originally posted to offer information specifically about the Delta JFK-STI flight. Like i said, to offer "information"! So no one is crying or rubbing anything in your face. I tell you what, next time we meet up, i'll buy you a beer with my savings........... ;)

[Kevy]

I am trrying not fall the floor laughing about this. I was just comiserating with the other NON NY/NJ guys about the thread. But yeah, you can buy me a beer in October. :lol:

WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's not be too hasty...

[ErikS]

From the NYC area Delta is cheaper.

I just booked JFK-STI RT Jan 5-16 2006 for $273.60 (total, all taxes and fees included).

AA from JFK was $358. Continental from Newark was $324. They both fly into POP.

I'm going to spend a couple days exploring Santiago on the front & back end of this trip. Then use Caribe Tours to the North Coast.

[RSMMAN]

I JUST BOOKED MINE TODAY DELTA LAX TO SDQ $532.00 :D

[psriches]

DELTA is running $273 including tax for JFK-STI until further notice. JET BLUE has matched but the flight times are crazy. AMERICAN also matched but some flights involve a connection.
